The fate of 'surplus' of 2 young players of Song Lam Nghe An
Right before the 2024/2025 season, SLNA decided to lend goalkeeper Chu Van Tan and midfielder Ngo Van Bac to Hanoi Police and Hai Phong respectively.
Up to this point, both Chu Van Tan and Ngo Van Bac have not played a single minute for their new team. While Chu Van Tan is just a backup for Filip Nguyen and Do Sy Huy, Ngo Van Bac has also had to sit on the bench at Lach Tray Stadium because he cannot compete with his teammates for a position.
At the moment, in Hai Phong, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem owns many quality midfielders with rich battle experience. Besides the foreign duo Bicou Bissainthe - Ze Paulo, there are also Le Manh Dung, Nguyen Huu Son, Trieu Viet Hung, Luong Hoang Nam and Le Tien Anh. It is difficult for Ngo Van Bac to be appreciated by the strategist Chu.
Unlike Ngo Van Bac, Chu Van Tan's loan to Hanoi Police was only to "circumvent the law". According to VPF regulations, each team in V.League must register at least 3 Vietnamese players between the ages of 16 and 22. Therefore, Chu Van Tan's chance to play for Hanoi Police is extremely slim.
However, joining the Hanoi and Hai Phong Police also helps Chu Van Tan and Ngo Van Bac have a relatively high and stable income, at least compared to Song Lam Nghe An, where they are not in the team's plan. In addition, both of them have accumulated a lot of experience after their "training" period.
Hopefully, in the near future, Chu Van Tan and Ngo Van Bac will grow up remarkably when returning to Vinh Stadium. Don't forget that, in the past, many famous players of Song Lam Nghe An played for other teams on loan. Typically, the duoPhan Van Duc - Pham Xuan Manh, played for the People's Public Security in the 2015 season.
